You are right about the file (though this functionality is not 
implemented yet).
I don't have any strong opinion about the right behavior if COPY aborts. 
The error log table would contain tuples that were not inserted anyway. 
Now knowing whether the bad tuples come from a successful COPY command 
or not will be left to the user.
